Room 237 - A Review

1.5 Stars - Annoying

So, Room 237 is a series of analyses of Stanley Kubrick's wonderful horror film The Shining. It is one of the most absurdly annoying documentaries I've ever seen.

These people suggest such rot about the Shining as Room 237 is used to symbolise that Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing footage, that the film is about the mass genocide of Native Americans and that Jack having a German typewriter means the film is about the holocaust...

Now I'm not saying that Stanley Kubrick didn't have any kind of underlying themes or messages, he clearly did, but what they suggest is an example of why I hate over analysis of media. It just suggests ridiculous things that no-one would ever want to read into a film when they just want to enjoy it.

Nazi!

In short, watch the Shining, and ignore this tripe
